Landscapes and Others

FIVE, this is nuts. Started over from scratch, I detest orange water

Usually don't do moon shots, liked the clouds, and wanted to see how well the 600mm would stick pick:-)

Here we go again:-) Moving car very dirty window, 25 MPH winds. Certain lenses ya just gotta love. This probably needs a crop of some sort since as a rule IDDLS

Some off the top for Tom. Previous is some off the bottom Yes this is Buckeye Lake. The big kick is while it is 10 miles across in some spots the water is only 6' deep in most areas. Get a bunch of boats zooming around and you get mud. Won't even go into, human waste water (in some spots), but I wouldn't swim in it:-) The lake is very scenic in some places, looks can be deceiving.

Don and I have been hiking at Blackhand Gorge. Once the leaves drop I'll get a shot of the cliff edge that kids, old enough to know better, use to jump off of. Yes Don and I knew most of them, some got seriously injured. Anyway been fun as in 'hey I remember climbing up and walking the train trestle'. Or hey that is the big stone culvert a bunch of us took our muscle cars though to get to the mud, so we could mud run. One guy completely lost his Triumph convertible in the mud:-) Prior to 1985 it was the the party place and you name it place. It is now wonderfully set up for hiking etc.

Cropped got rid of the clouds.

Sigh..Trying scene shot again

Don't do structures much, thought I would give it a go.

Ok here tis the scene with ' the tree' and pretty much as shot. Did crop a bit of grass off the bottom. One of those times a zoom or something at 70mm would have been nice. Zoomed with feet and took quite a few shots from different angles. I will be linking to them here as I get them done up. Stay tuned.

Sort of nuts, as shot, no grads, no filters. Post was basic LAB and light USM. There is something quirky about it I like

On of the first little marsh areas we come to going the back way into the fish hatchery. Straight conversion below http://Thusie.smugmug.com/photos/143161883-L.jpg

Ok made an attempt to clone out the one stump. Not bad but I sorta think it looses something?

Did my best with the blue barn disease..Don't know how to C/P:-) Cloned out the grass on the left side then just cropped some.

You can blame all this silliness on Sherstone

Fluffed up version.

#$#^#%@ This could be nice, I think, but I just can't get the post or something. Didn't bother to clone out wires, have the RAW.

Not a very good day, weather wise, I guess we can blame that on Tom's ground sq shot:-) Waiting for Spring..and waiting, and waiting. Got to shoot with Gail (great fun!), she put her 60mm through its paces.

Messed with this a bit but can't bring the sky up as much as Gail did.
